Please have a close look of the scabbard pebbling structure. Note the digits. Looks like a sample. I've never seen such a scabbard before, may be someone else have?

WOW! Great eye. I wonder if these are where the pattern is repeated in order? It often pays to really examine these closely sometimes.

Thanks Ron!
I belive those digits were stamped for technology puposes and this dagger was issued for factory use only. More opinions?

I never had seen that bevore, also not by other daggers.
Very interesting.
It seems as the graining has 4 different densitys and it was marked by the numbers at the scabbard.
Maybe an excample t judge the best graining for the diplo-scabbards.
very good macro-pics!
